I'm a fan of the lore and all the lore dump we've had has really hyped me up so I wanted to share some of my ideas of what would happen leading up to act 3.

So a quick summary of what's happened to get everyone up to speed, someone found Brim and blackmailed to expose the Valorant protocol to the world. Cypher and Sova try to find out who this mystery person is, but find nothing. This pisses the person off, and tells Brim that he will follow through, and leaves a bunch of dossiers about 6 agents on 6 maps. That's pretty much what happened so far.

And if you look at the new loading screen, it looks like neon finally got the tp to work, but Brimstone's and KJ's bracelets seems to have gotten hacked by the blackmailer as his logo appears on them. This could mean we are getting someone like kay/o who is capable of suppressing abilities. Either that, or they don't want to go through the newly built portal without having taken care of the blackmailer first.

Now, onto what I think is going to happen leading up to act 3.

When the blackmailer first emailed Brim, he mentioned the loss of someone and whether Valorant and Brim played any part in it. These seems to be what the blackmailer wants Brim to prove his innocence in. Now, I think the person the blackmailer is looking for is agent 8, and upon realizing that, joins the valorant protocol in hopes of finding him. This made the most sense to me as it didnt really make sense to me at the time when the blackmailer was revealed to be the teased new agent as per the battlepass. Why would he join the protocol he would've exposed, and better yet, why would Brim allow it?

And this was my best theory. I probably should have mentioned at the beginning that I am no lorehound and this is all just my own personal ramblings, all of which seems to make sense in my head. Feel free to drop your ideas too, in case I forgot a key thing that debunks this whole theory, or stuff that makes this more likely.
